GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5770 GV-R577SO-1GD Video Card

Comment:
Nicely this is a somewhat confusing review to write, due to the fact i LOVED this card until "it" happened. It was OCing like a beast and was operating all of my games nicely at maxed out settings. Acquiring 60 fps easily on wow and making me extremely happy. Its very cost-effective as well! I was truly loving this card until in the middle of a wow session my frame rate all of a sudden dropped, closely followed by an odd noise coming from my case. Then I srarted to smell burning plastic, so i shut every thing down and looked for the difficulty. The fan had come off and was grating against the side of the casing..... I was very disappointed in this fluke, but I am an optimist so i am going to just get a different and hope that this 1 was just a fluke.

Runs a lot cooler than my prior card, 񢣂 which idled at 60c) This will idle at 37-40c and full load has gotten it up to 54c.Plays almost any game at max settings with good frame rate, running 1920x1080 60hz. (BFBC2, Metro 2033, Borderlands, Far Cry two, Arma II, Lost Planet Extreme Conditions, GRiD)Its comparatively quiet, I had no difficulties with the sound of it.Its a very visually appealing card, it looks wonderful in my case. I actually dislike the placement of the HDMI port on these cards, both of my instances have a slight hinge that prevents a stable connection from the port. I may modify my case to fix this.The card I received had a poor DVI port, I employed unique cables, monitors, adapters and the challenge persisted with just the port. I requested an RMA and are at present waiting for the replacement to ship. Was disappointed to have it for less than a month and have to spend ů to purchase a shipping label. I was hoping for that to be covered for at least the 1st 30 days.Thats not worth taking off an Egg although, there will be a few negative cards every single now and then.

I purchased this card as a upgrade going from a BFG 8500GT. It's a fantastic card for the cost, and I'm a large fan of Gigabyte as they make durable equipment, this card is built to final! I have generally had excellent luck operating Gigabyte equipment, and this is no exception. I immediately noticed a enormous difference in fps and general load occasions . Now I run Starcraft two and Negative Business 2 on the highest settings no lag no situation. I do wish it was dressed a small nicer (all copper heatsink, 2 fans, complete rear exhaust) as this could help dissipate a lot more heat.Doesn't come with a free of charge Megan Fox, and wont make me sandwiches either =(Also you might require to boost your case depending on its airflow. Mine does idle a bit increased than other individuals claim(About 45c) and when its below load it can get up to 65c-70c which might cause your method to shut down. I assume this is a problem with possessing an older case with poor airflow.I'm buying a newer "Cooler Master CM690 II Standard" to enhance airflow, we will see if that lowers my card temps.

Comment:
temps stay low, drivers easy to install, easy interface, has no struggle playing games at complete settings, looks cool couldn't get two!

Great Value-Efficiency Card:-Powerful Card at 900񳂠 -Quiet-Lower Power consumption Not as fast as the prior 4870኶s 5830s+ but the lower energy usage under idle/full load helps for folks hunting at NOT upgrading their PSU. 128-bit address is the only limitation for individuals looking for critical performance. The Gigabyte OC Utility that came with the package is a good addition for these new to overclocking scene.My 5770 runs at 950񳄄 respectfully; with minor volt-tweaking.Will be ordering a different 5770 to crossfire at later dates.

Comment:
- Greater than normal cooling- Overclocked properly for me- Value - None I was amazed that it OC'd to 950񳄶 soon after the on the net evaluations I read. Couldn't be happier with this 贱 VGA card.

Comment:
Superb cooler. Purchased 2 and running in crossfire on a FX890 MB. Appear at the Xfire evaluations, 2X5770 = 5870.5870 may or may possibly not fit in a mid tower case which I prefer. The 5770 is alot shorter. Outstanding good quality.Not a con.Not alot of overclocking overhead given that this is one of the highest factory overclocks out there鿄mhz). All the excellent cards with 5770 based GPU's will not go a lot beyond 950mhz stable at reference core voltage anyway. The fan wire could have been developed to be much better hidden. Exceptional card.

Comment:
Many 5770s in crossfire was the perfect upgrade path for my slew of AMD based systems. This card runs cool and quiet beneath load, and performs effectively. Guess what? I RMA'd for a fermi 460, quite a lot against my will and right after a lot techno time wasting. My extremely stable systems just ARENT with this card. ASUS M4A785-M, M3A78, M3A78-T all behave similarly. Crashes with grey screen or to desktop on practically all my modern games (except crysis). Poor card? I guess so. Mine also produced a whining noise beneath load, which is a poor sign for longevity. BUT: google 񔚪 GSOD" (Grey Screen Of Death) and start out reading. There is this challenge around the 5xxx cards that is hitting alot of people and isnt getting fixed. It genuinely acts like a driver challenge to me, but there was a hotfix for the ten.1 driver, and its now driver ten.9 and the dilemma persists. A TON of "solutions" and theories are out there except from AMD. Its too typical to ignore (except on purpose)... Search for the word "grey" or "GSOD" in a random sampling of 5770 and other 5xxx reviews right right here on Newegg.... Yeah. Makes you kinda nervous doesnt it? I actually wanted to really like this card, but this GSOD issue... This card is truly properly produced and created, and I have had good luck with MSI and AMD. In trying to isolate the dilemma, although, I became convinced that I would never get the stability I demand with all 5xxx cards in my systems. Pity. This affects my mobo purchases, etc. Going nVidia is no little selection for me. But, hey, probably I just got a negative card, right? Or they'll fix the drivers anytime now? From what I can research, I just ain't prepared to roll the dice. Bye bye AMD technique. Bummer. Manufacturer Response:Dear Buyer,Thank you for your comments.

It performs... came with every thing pictured and to precise specs. But honestly, it's hard to decide the good aspects of this card when the negatives are so glaring... I would say the 1 saving aspect of this card is that it is cheap. Temperature range is a safe 30 to 50c. It also appears nicely built if not dangerously heavy. But i'll let that be my intro into the cons.... Imbalanced/Heavy - I realize most modern day cards are about this weight, but when its secured in two slots and mounted in a PCIe bus it nonetheless sags. I expect thermal movement across the PCB alternating from heavy processing(hot) to idle(cold) in conjunction with the weight and sag of the card will lead at some point to a terminal failure. Unimpressive efficiency - I'll admit I have an regrettably low tolerance for sub 50-60fps performance, but when persons claim to be in a position to "Play every little thing at ULTRA HIGH with 8xAA and 16xAF at the highest resolution!" with this card, they might not be lying, exactly, they just are in a position to appreciate it at a lesser level of efficiency for the trade off of viewable area and higher texture res ect..Overenthusiastic and misleading manufacturer claims - For example, its printed on the product box "TOP Efficiency" and "INSANE SPEED". I don't usually take phrases like these literally, but following playing many games, it just sounds insulting and gimmicky. ARMA II - 2008 - Settings "High" (One step beneath Ultra High) 20-40 fps at 1600x900 2x AA 2x AF, Shadows medium. Encountered stuttering and continually uneven frame rates (Enormous disappointment.)Empire: Total War - 2009 - Settings "Custom" 30-45fps 1280x768 2x AA Trilinear! Occasional stutters, even lower fps on city or massive scale battles.Fallout three - 2009 - Settings "Custom" 35-50 fps 1280x768 2x AA 4x AFElemental War of Magic - 2010 - Settings "Custom" 30-45 fps 1600x900 Stylized Lighting (bloom and hdr fullscreen effects)All and all, I feel cheated. Yeah its 128bit and yeah its a 5770, but for 150 dollars the truth as I see it is, as rational consumers we are just perpetually locked in this money grubbing cycle till individuals cease paying 軸 - ũ,200 for a single component to gratify their identity complicated.AMD x3 Rana2Gb DDR2 Muskin Silver 866 Dual channelGigabyte ATI 5770 "Super" Overclock Edition at stock 900 core 1200 ram750w Energy supplySept. 2010 Cata

Superior than most other ATI Radeon HD 5770s. Makes use of 3 heat pipes in addition to a fan for cooling. Really quiet.If you're an enthusiast, then spend a ton of cash on the 5870 or 5970. If you're not *quite* an enthusiast, but you nonetheless want some awesome gaming overall performance, get this card. It idles at about 40 C for me, then gets hot through gaming (maxes out at 75 C) but I have a low-cost case with weak cooling. Chances are you have a greater computer case than I do with a front cooling fan. Just Result in 2 runs at 1680x1050 with actually Every thing else maxed out (including 8xAA, 16xFF) at about 50 FPS, and by no means goes below 30 FPS. It is an absolutely stunning game.

Comment:
This card runs each and every game that I personal really properly. The most hard game to play WAS BFBC2 (see cons). For this cost range you wont locate a superior value. This is not really a con, more so just information if your looking to acquire this card. When I fist purchased this card I was running it with an AMD 3.two regor dual core. Even with that CPU it ran games really effectively. It did have serious problems with BFBC2 nevertheless. It would consistently skip, lag, and take forever to load maps. I couldnt run the game on anything at all larger then medium settings. I not too long ago bought an Athlon II X3 three.two (Unlocked the forth core) and it made a world of difference. I can now run it with every thing turned up all the way on 1920x1080 40-60fps࿈ when its actually action packed). There is absolutely nothing wrong with this card for the price tag range its in. Just do not be a dummy like me and assume that a 3.two dual core will not bottle neck it.

Worked excellently for a month, playing Starcraft II on Ultra settings. My pc had been crashing for a couple of days now, and I had no idea why till I looked into the case at an upward angle, seeing the fan dangling off the card.

Works great when I got one that was not defective. The very first card arrived with the fan hanging from the card and all three screws loose in the bag. All 3 holes in the heat sink had been stripped out, so I had no selection but to return and reorder. As generally, Newegg return policy was effortless and prompt. This fan is very light, and it is unlikely that a blow in shipment caused this issue. It is much more most likely that the screw holes had been stripped in assembly or incorrectly threaded in the initial spot.

I got this card with my Asus M4A785-M and i like the card alot but it appears to crash, occasionally when i am in game the ATI engine will crash. Also when i start out my computer system up it will crash, not the finest option i made and its not even O.Ced. Low-cost card but not worth it you get what you spend for..

Rapidly. MW 1 and two highest settings, and handles Windows 7 EI at 7.five. Unbelievable card. The Heatsink keeps the card very cold, at a solid 40C regardless of power consumption. although on desktop, GPU takes on aver 10 watts to run, so extremely effective. OC tools that come with it make it super simple to OC. Fan on the GPU is super quiet, can't even hear it. Incredible card. None. Trying to see if I can hybrid crossfire with my onboard graphics, but I'm not sure that i see significantly of a require. Or that it would even make much of a distinction. This card is quickly and comes with all the possibilities imaginable. And it's DX11 compatible. I spent a lengthy time attempting to make a decision if i wanted a 4770 or a 5770 and this was the better option. The 4770 is just a small less expensive, but the benchmarks had been substantially superior with the 5770, and add in ATeyefinity and DX11. Sold. It's a excellent card and I would suggest any individual on a spending budget get one particular. Or even if you just want a medium priced pc. Power/Price/FPS is just as well high to ignore.

Worked fine when it wasn't crashing. Frequent crashes in games from the day it was installed. Some days it would operate for a number of hours, some days for less than a minute ahead of crashing. Finally 31 days right after shopping for it, it died. Saying "GV-R577SO-1GD has stopped working" when I try and commence my computer system with it. I guess it's time to RMA and hope the next one particular operates... Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your difficulty with your Gigabyte item.

Great card that seriously performs nicely. I did not expect to get the high fps on all high graphics on BFBC2, TF2, and L4D2 (the games I play the most). Looks very good and uncomplicated to install. None that I can come across.

Comment:
Really enjoyed the card, ran my games at max resolutions w/ choices maxed, until... 1 day, I boot up WoW, then Starcraft (seperately of course), and for some reason I start off hearing alarms from inside my case. My card is overheating for some reason (i haven't even had to bother with OCing the card). Turn off computer, appear inside, and my fan is hanging out of it, and when i unplug the card, look at the card itself as nicely, a wire has grow to be unsoldered simply because of the fan hanging there in space. Amazing. Mainly because of now owning the card for a tiny much less than 2 months, I'm now out of Newegg's hands and now in Gigabyte's. Even superior, simply because now my only rig and I'm out of it for two-3 weeks according to their RMA page - all simply because the fan wouldn't remain in and then mutilated itself by knocked the wire loose? Not really pleased with this.
